There has to be a path towards dialog in this country. Sad how things are becoming so divided.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-teen-maga-hat-bullies-bus-attack-video-hamilton-county

Five young students in Florida were charged Friday after a video posted online allegedly depicted the group pummeling a 14-year-old classmate on a school bus an attack the boys family claims occurred after their son previously wore a MAGA hat to school and voiced support for President Trump.

The five students in Hamilton County were charged with misdemeanor battery stemming from the Nov. 21 incident, the sheriffs office told WCTV-TV of Thomasville, Ga.

The mother of the 14-year-old boy posted a video of the incident on Twitter on Thursday, saying her attorney approved its release. As of early Saturday, the graphic video -- which Fox News is not posting here because it shows minors -- had been retweeted nearly 17,000 times.

"Keep in mind this is only the first 21 seconds of the video," the mother, using the Twitter handle @AmericanDiaries, writes. "Please RT to have these two girls and 3 boys held accountable."

In the video, which the woman claims was shot by another student and obtained from school officials, one female student in particular appears to overpower the boy as he tries to defend himself. He does not appear to be wearing a MAGA hat or any other Trump gear at the time. Other students are seen throwing an occasional punch at the boy as well.
The boy's mother claims her son required medical treatment for head contusions after the incident, radio station WFTL of West Palm Beach reported.
The woman also wrote Nov. 22, the day after the incident, To be clear, my son bought his #Trump2020 hat with his own money at the flea market a few weeks ago. He was proud to wear it. He wore it to School, but due to immediate bullying he put it away & didn't wear it to school again, sadly the damage was already done & was now a target.

The boys attorney, Foye B. Walker, reposted the video on Twitter on Thursday, writing: I represent this victim who was assaulted & injured because he exercised his right to #FreedomOfSpeech by wearing a #maga hat to school. This assault occurred ON THE SCHOOL BUS In Hamilton County, FL!
Its bullying as well as an attack on our rights of Free Speech provided by the First Amendment! he added in a separate tweet.
Walker tagged President Trump, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Floridas GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis in several tweets.

The mother also tweeted a photo of her son in a hospital bed with his face covered, writing:
I am sitting in the hospital with my 14 year old kid because he was just jumped by 8 black kids on the school bus, I guess that's what happens when a kid wears a #Trump hat to school. And who's the violent ones again? Earlier today they poured milk all over his head.
Superintendent Rex Mitchell said in a letter released Friday that a Hamilton County School District investigation conducted within the 22 days since the fight occurred revealed no evidence that the student was wearing a political hat showing support for President Trump at the time of the altercation or that his wearing of such apparel on a prior occasion motivated the incident.

The bus driver should have put a stop to it. I have seen another video from another day where he was being assaulted and was fighting back so it was an ongoing problem. The bus is just merrily going on in both videos so I would think someone should be losing their job.

Maybe he was jumped by 8 black kids because he's a little racist like his mom?

Obviously doesn't make it right, no one should be assaulting anyone. But the "cause" seems misleading.

Im not well versed in gang culture, but do colors matter that much that you can't even wear, say, a shirt of a sports team with said color, or wearing something nice thst clearly shows you aren't in any gangs? I don't expect much brain power from gangs, but are they so stupid that they can't differentiate a Cardinals fan from a blood?

They assumed the kid was a racist, sexist, Nazi, bigot. So the beating was apparently justified in their warped minds.

Public school is one of the most dangerous places in America. Kids routinely fight and get away with it. Many many kids experience violence in these schools and they don't have much recourse to change school or get out.

I mean if there is just a random dude going about his regular life while wearing a color associated with something that isnt gang related (i.e. sports apparel) that it would be different than doing gang stuff and/or wearing a solid color, but again, I am not well versed in gang culture

It doesn't prove anything except that the parent is probably racist because there was absolutely no reason to mention race in her tweet, and yet she did it anyways.

That being said, the actual Superintendent of the school itself commented on what happened, and the mother straight up even lied about when it happened, which is sketchy, but the fact remains that it did still happen, though the reason she gave is unproven for the reason. I would imagine that the school officials, when punishing the children (which did happen.), would have asked for the reason it happened. Apparently, it was not because of the kid wearing a hat.

First, what responsible parent would allow their child to go to school with a MAGA hat specifically KNOWING the hatred people have for it. Seriously. I fucking love speeding on the highway, and I do it on my commute to work. But when the kids are in the car I drive the speed limit. This is a clear case of neglect on the part of the mother.

Second, even if he really did get beat up for the hat... he still got off way easier than Heather Heyer.

1. I don't know about others, but I usually take my hat off in the hospital. Or someone could have taken it. And I don't even understand the point of that picture. Why take a picture of the very top of someone's head? If you can't show the face, why even take the picture.
2. I saw the picture, but it was too small to read, and I was at work. So, I didn't get to actually see it. Though, if it's from the school, it might not be 100% true if the school is trying to save face... In the end, I guess we may never know the actual reason, but whatever...

There's a video really far down the chain as well of the actual fight. He got 1v1'd by a black girl then some other kids threw flimsy little slaps at him.

Unless they mudhole stomped him after he shouldn't have been hospitalised.
